What are the treatments for rheumatism?

Patient's question:

I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Is there any treatment for rheumatoid arthritis?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of rheumatic diseases is relatively difficult, and it is hard to achieve complete remission. First, hormone-based medications can be used to control symptoms. However, it is essential to stabilize the living environment. Prolonged exposure to cold and damp conditions can lead to repeated exacerbations and worsening of the condition. Placing dehumidifiers indoors can help promote a thorough recovery.
